Coyote Safety

The number of coyote sightings have increased in 2025. Below please find basic information provided by Mississauga Animal Services as well as links to more detailed handout we have received from the city.

Keep your family and pets safe by taking these simple steps.

See or Encounter a Coyote

If a coyote is displaying unusual behaviour such as approaching people, stay calm, make yourself as large as possible, clap and shout loudly, or make startling movements to encourage a coyote to leave an area
Never turn your back or run from a coyote, their natural instinct is to chase
Carry a walking stick or startle the animal by opening an umbrella, using a flashlight or activating an audible alarm.

Keep Your Family Safe

Never leave young children unattended outside
Teach children to never approach wildlife
When walking in areas where coyotes are active, bring protection such as a cell phone, personal alarm, umbrella, walking stick or flashlight

Keep Your Pets Safe

Keep cats indoors
Supervise your pet outdoors at all times
Keep dogs on a short six foot (1.8 m) leash and don’t use an extendable leash
Maintain control of your dog and don’t allow them to chase coyotes
Check your yard for wildlife before letting your pet outside
Vaccinate your pet regularly against rabies and distemper

Animal Proof Your Property

Keep garbage/compost in a garage or shed and ensure lids are secure
Remove food sources such as bird feeders, seed spillage and fallen tree fruit
Feed pets indoors
Do not feed coyotes or other wildlife
Enclose spaces under decks and sheds to discourage wildlife from nesting
